1995 Cougar Wheels Reply #1 – February 28, 2010, 09:43:02 PM your best bet is going to be your local junk yard. everything you would find here will most likely be 4 lug since this is a fox forum and not MN-12. Quote Selected

1995 Cougar Wheels Reply #4 – March 01, 2010, 05:47:25 AM Keep an eye on the offset. Wheels from the Lincoln LS will fit, but you need spacers to clear the front spindle. This may be true for several wheels, such as the Continental, Jaguar and Volvo wheels with 5 x 4.25". I seem to recall Taurus/Sable wheels fitting without spacers. Quote Selected
1995 Cougar Wheels Reply #5 – March 01, 2010, 06:46:08 AM I ran Continental alloy wheels on my ex-wife's '89 Tbird for a coupla years, no noticeable offset differences or spacer issues, I think the Conti was a '91, or '92 though.I only did it because the Conti had lost it's second second headgasket, and the tires were were almost new. That, and I preferrred the alloys over the Tbird's stock steel wheels :hick:They fit like they were made for it. Quote Selected
1995 Cougar Wheels Reply #6 – March 01, 2010, 08:02:28 AM The reason front wheel drive wheels work on mn12s is due to the MN having a 44mm offset as most front drive cars do. Quote Selected
